With increasing agricultural irrigation efficiency, there is a risk of salt build-up in the soil that can significantly reduce crop production. Using a very easy-to-make probe, the Vinduino handheld reader -designed for soil moisture measurement- can now also be used to measure and manage soil salinity, as well as monitor irrigation/drinking water quality.

Measuring soil salinity is just one use of EC (electrical conductivity) measurement. While reading up on the subject of EC and wine, I found some interesting applications for winemaking: * During fermentation to monitor nutrition level for the yeast* Cold stability testing of red and white wines
